Hello Crafters,

In issue 19 of Chloe's Creative Cards Collection box kit, Chloe created a beautiful stamp-along project featuring the intricate bauble stamps. You may have noticed, however, that the magazine doesn't include full instructions for creating the card. This is because we wanted to share this bonus project with you as a Stamp-Along. To create this elegant card, you will need the kit content from the new Chloe's Creative Cards Collection Issue 19, along with a selection of other materials, detailed below and in the FREE downloadable PDF project sheet. You will be stamping, heat-embossing, and glittering to your heart's content within this Stamp-along, so you're bound to have lots of fun re-creating the look!

Here's a larger shot of the card that we're going to be recreating (plus a closer look at the glorious inside!) - look at all the great techniques you'll be using!

Chloe has created full step-by-step instructions and a material list for you to follow along, but to make it even easier, we've also created a downloadable, printable version you can go back to time and time again. This digital PDF even has all the products linked to our website, so if there's anything you need to buy, you can simply click on the product, and it will take you through to the relevant product page on our website. Please note, items that aren't available on our website will have no links. You can also substitute certain items if you don't have them in your craft stash.

Instructions:

1 Fold one sheet of A4 card in half and another into quarters to create your pop-out card base. Take the sheet that has been folded into quarters, and place the Gilded Rectangles 3 die in the centre and cut out.

2 Trim down a sheet of snowflake foiled card to a little over A5 in size and secure in the fold of your card base. You will need to trim the top and bottom of the foil pearl card so it fits. Add ribbon to each side of the card and affix two base cards together to create your pop-out base. To create the front of the card, trim snowflake foiled patterned paper to 14x20.2cm and affix to the base card.

3 Trim white card to 12.5x18.7cm and dust with an anti-static bag. Using a clear embossing inkpad, stamp the baubles and snowflakes onto the card, as shown, then cover with Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder and heat set.

4 Take a piece of scrap paper (or a Post-it note) and create a mask for the larger bauble design. Overlay the mask onto your stamped images and ink through using a Speckled Egg Distress Oxide inkpad. Dust the bauble well with an anti-static bag and stamp the sentiment across the centre of the bauble. Cover with Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder and heat set.

5 Stamp four leaves and two bows onto white card using a clear embossing inkpad, cover with Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder and heat set. Cut out the bows and leaves. Using PVA glue and a fine-tip applicator, apply glue to the bows and leaves, then cover with Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Once dry, shape the bows and leaves and add to the base card using glue gel, as shown.

6 Embellish the snowflakes and add some string to the top of the baubles, as shown, using PVA and Diamante Sparkle glitter. Using a chisel-tip glue pen, trace around the edge of the panel and cover with Glass Slipper glitter. Affix to base card using foam pads. Add a Sparkler to the centre of each of the bows.

7 Cut two strips of foiled card to 6.5x19.5cm then affix to the inside of the card. Cut two strips of white card to 5.5x18.5cm and stamp a snowflake border onto each using a clear embossing inkpad. Cover with Metallic Silver Superfine embossing powder and heat set.

8 Apply dots of PVA glue and cover with Diamante Sparkle glitter. Embellish the snowflakes with clear jewels in the centre, then affix the panels to the inside of the card,

9 Complete by embossing two squares using the snowflake embossing folder. Cut these in half diagonally and affix to the inside of the card, as shown.
